The US Economy Grows at Fastest Pace Since 1984! 7.2% in the 3rd Quarter!
Now lets see…who was in office in 1984…hmmm…could it be this man? Here’s more on the economic growth.
Now I’m no economist, but when I told this to my friend who’se an economics major, his response was “holy shit…you’re kidding me”…so I guess this is a very good thing. I wish there was either a publication or news show that would put these economic things into simple-person terminology (so people like me can fully appreciate ‘em).
In other political news, the Globe decided to run a story on former Mass Gov and 1988 Dem Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, as he’s apparently about to turn 70. I barely remember the man (I was in first grade when he lost to Bush Sr.–and I remember that we always laughed when we heard his name…because it was so hard to pronounce).
Staying within the Globe–there’a piece of news to me. I thought that the “neo-cons” only had a foreign policy agenda; but according to this letter, they have one on education too.
And in the NY Times, its a battle of the Pundits–as Maureen Down vs Thomas Friedman (Brandeis ‘75). VodkaPundit gives the match to Friedman in the 2nd round via KO.
The AngryClam is livid over Justice O’Connor’s latest remarks.
Finally, Allah, of Allah’s in the house has moved (must be part of the BlogSpot Jihad)
I think I’m gonna head out and grab a bite to eat now…
